Hello

Through HubSpot API, how to discover the

**objectType**

if one has its

**objectId**

?

Based on a strict immutable interface contract, and it does not include property

**objectType: string;**

`objectId: string;file: {... };`

Steps:

1. Upload Document, which returns a

**documentId**

.

1. Create an Engagement to attach

**documentId**

, which returns an

**engagementId**

.

1. Associate new Engagement with Object with

**objectId**

.

To perform Engagement association to Object requires:

- assume **Note** is **engType**
- **engagementId** as **engId**
- **objectType** as **objType**
- **objectId** as **objId**

`/crm/v3/objects/${engType}s/${engId}/associations/${objType}/${objId}/${enbType}_to_${objType}`

So to perform an association between Engagment to Object requires knowing

**objectType**

and

**objectId**

.

Thank you.
